MAY FLOWERS – The flowers are blooming and God‘s love for us shows in the wonderful colors of the season. May
you feel welcomed here and surrounded by the love of Jesus. We ask visitors to let us know you were here by filling out
the Fellowship Pad (it‘s in the hymnal rack) with today‘s date, your name, address, phone number, etc.
HELP US AVOID THE SUMMER SLUMP -Summer vacations are upon us and that's a good thing. We all need to get
our batteries recharged. But while we are fishing, sightseeing and camping, the work of our congregation goes on and our
fixed costs remain...well...fixed. We ask that everyone would prayerfully remember Our Saviour congregation and not let
their summer giving fall behind. June and July are always our lowest giving months. It is much easier for our treasurer,
Gay Pivonka, to pay the bills when there is a consistent flow of income and not a roller coaster-like ebb and flow of cash.
We are very fortunate to have Pastors such as Dave and Greg, all of our excellent staff members and this building in
which to worship, and we thank God every day for our blessings. So, please, if you are going to be gone, be consistent in
your giving so that the mission of the church can continue. -- Your Stewardship Board
HOT!! – Well, it's Hot, Hot, Hot and so are OSLC's softball teams. OSLC 1 defeated 1st United Methodist (27 to 17) to
remain undefeated (2-0) and OSLC 2 defeated Spring Lake 3 (14 to 11) to move to 1-1 on the year. No games this
weekend because of the Memorial Day holiday but we resume on Sunday, June 6th with OSLC 1 playing at 5:30 at John
Muir Lower Field and OSLC 2 playing at 5:30 at Murphy 2. Thanks to the players and fans, who support us at the games.
OLAN MILLS – Appointments are still available on June 1, 28 and 29. If you do not have an appointment scheduled, or
to change an appointment, please call 1-800-866-2263. Allow one hour for your pictures and the review process.
PRESCHOOL – We are taking registrations NOW for the 2010-11 school year— MWF (8:30-11:30) for 4/5-year-olds
and T-TH (8:30-10:30) for 3-year-olds. Call this week (468-3596). Spots are filling up fast so don‘t delay any longer; we
are almost full and a waiting list will be started soon.
“CHARITABLE GIVING: HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY GIVING BACK” – This free educational
workshop is being offered at Our Saviour Lutheran Church on Wednesday, June 2 from 6:00 PM to 7:45 PM. During the
workshop, you‘ll learn about charitable giving financial tools that may decrease your taxes and/or supplement your
retirement income. You‘ll also discuss options for leaving a lasting charitable legacy, as well as different ways that you
can give back, including volunteering. The workshop will be hosted by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Financial
Consultant, Walter Juhnke. Our presenter will be Ryan Jones, Manager of Lutheran Relationships with Thrivent Financial
for Lutherans. Refreshments will be served. RSVP‘s requested at 468-4065. For more info, call Walter at 965-9090.
2. VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL RIDES THE HIGH SEAS – VBS will be held June 28-July 1 from 9am to noon.
Registration forms are at the extra counter by the Welcome Center. Only one form is needed per family. Parent/adult and
student (grade 6 and above) volunteers will also be needed; sign up at the Welcome Center to help. REGISTRATION IS
REQUESTED NO LATER THAN TODAY…MAY 30. PLEASE SIGN UP TODAY!!
SWEET MONDAY – June 7 is a wedding theme. Bring some lady friends (easy way to invite your neighbors to church!)
to celebrate weddings! If you can, bring your wedding pictures and items (like your dress!) We have some sweet treats
coming, so bring your sweet tooth, too. We chat from 7:00 to 7:30, then get into our wedding theme. We're done by 8:30.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE – Imagine a place that connects member's needs, interests, talents, and passions. The Board of
Stewardship is developing such a place. To start it off, they are inviting every member to complete a fun and creative
inventory (survey). The information will be used within the congregation only, to allow members to use their gifts for the
Lord‘s work. This inventory is available at the Olan Mills picture taking sessions and the Welcome Center.
THURSDAY WORSHIP – Summer is a time when many people take time to travel, relax at the cottage, go fishing, or
simply spend time enjoying the outdoors. God's creation should be enjoyed. In response, we should not forget to Thank
and Praise our Heavenly Father. OSLC has established the Thursday service at 7pm for those who can't attend worship on
the weekends. This service is an excellent way to keep our focus on things above. If you are not available to worship on
Sunday, please consider attending on the Thursday prior to the Sunday you will be missing.
SUMMER LIBRARY HOURS – The OSLC library will continue to be available to members this summer during
regular office hours…Monday thru Friday from 8am to 4:30pm. Michelle‘s lunch break is from 12-12:30pm each day; on
occasion, you may find the building locked for a portion or all of that time period.
WOMEN'S ONLINE MISSION NOTES – Check out what our women in mission have been doing by visiting the
LWML blog @ http://oslclwml.blogspot.com. Via Facebook, search Lutheran Women in Mission and our page pops up.
STRAWBERRY SEASON IS COMING! – Do you want to make it easier to core strawberries? Our new LWML is
selling strawberry corers for just 50 cents each. The basket of corers can be found at the coffee bar.
IT’S SUMMER STRETCH TIME! – Youth entering grades 6-9 this fall are invited to participate. Summer Stretch is a
full day of ministry through morning servant events, lunch, reflection on God‘s Word in our life, and an afternoon of
fellowship with other Christian youth. Days on the schedule are June 23, June 30, July 28 and August 4. Registration
forms for youth and adults can be found on the Youth Bulletin Board in the office hallway. The cost is $10 per day or $40
for all 4 weeks and includes a Summer Stretch t-shirt. We are limited in the number of youth who can participate only by
the number of adult chaperones we have; please consider helping if you are available.
If God is your co-pilot, switch seats!!
ARE YOU EXPECTING? – When a baby is scheduled for Holy Baptism at Our Saviour, the parents meet with Pastor
Dave or Greg to discuss ‗What is Baptism?‖. We now are offering pre-birth pre-Baptism seminars on a quarterly basis for
expectant parents, new parents and your child‘s intended sponsors. Our next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, August
14 from 9-10am. If you are expecting or are a new parent and plan to have your child baptized at Our Saviour, please call
the office at 468-4065 to RSVP to attend this required meeting.
APRIL COUNCIL MINUTES – Copies of the April Church Council minutes are now available at the Welcome Center.
FORE! ALOHA STYLE – Let's tee it up for the kids. On June 11th at The Woods Golf Course starting at 11am, you're
invited to play in the Blazer Open Golf Outing and Luau to benefit NEW Lutheran High School. There will be a $50,000
shootout, a putting contest, pig roast and silent auction. Come and enjoy the whole day of golf or just for the Luau in the

MILWAUKEE BREWERS OPPORTUNITY – Pilgrim Lutheran is organizing a coach trip to Miller Park to watch the
Brewers vs. the San Francisco Giants on Monday, July 5TH. It is a 3:15 pm game; the bus will leave from Pilgrim Lutheran
at 11:30am and return around 8pm. The cost is only $30 for an outfield loge seat and the bus ride. You cannot do better
than that! Call Tim Ashmann at 965-2224 or 562-3110 with reservations or questions.
QUILTERS UNITE – Camp Luther is pleased to announce that it will host its 3rd Annual Quilt Auction on November 6.

Luther Scholarship program which provides camperships to children who need financial assistance. If you or your group
can donate a quilted item, please pick up a ‗Quilt Information Sheet‘ from the office bulletin board. You will need one
form for each item; forms should accompany your item and be received at Camp Luther no later than October 1. If you
have any questions, please see the information on the bulletin board or contact Quik at Camp Luther.
LIFE QUOTE – ―God has not promised to spare us from all pain and suffering. We see that as our loved ones lie in
hospitals and hospices awaiting death. However, they do not wait alone, for God has promised us grace to endure until the
end of our earthly journey, and then a home in heaven. All this can be ours, because Christ has died for our sins and given
us a promise that, if we trust Him, all is well. We are in our Father‘s hands.‖ Rev. Homer Larson, speaker on the Christian
Crusaders radio program “Life Quote” is from Lutherans for Life-www.lutheransforlife.org
